You will find gnome-shell uses many of the same processes as Unity,
including nautilus, so will share some of the bugs too.

Why Gnome/GTK developers can't look at .xsession-errors and eliminate
all the bugs/warnings in their code before release I don't know... But
that's the way it's always been in my many years of using Gnome
desktops. The log has always shown some bugs and warnings are still
present.

I agree that bugs like this significantly tarnish Ubuntu's image. However according to the guidelines, importance of Low seems to be about right:

Title:
  No GTK theme applied on login, should be Ambiance

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On random occasions, logging into Ubuntu (Unity) there is no GTK/Gnome
  theme active. You only see what looks like stock icons and GTK
  theming. Logging out and logging back in again usually fixes the
  problem, and the Ambiance theme (or whatever) is then applied
  correctly.

  We have confirmation this is affecting multiple users in Ubuntu 11.10.
  However I personally used to see the problem occasionally in Ubuntu
  11.04 too.
